What are the best green bamboo sheets? This is a question we get often, and it’s one that we have put a lot of thought into. There are many factors to consider when choosing the perfect set of sheets, and color is certainly one of them. Green is a calming color that can bring a sense of serenity to your bedroom, and it also happens to be one of our favorite colors here at Bamboo Bed. In this blog post, we’ll share our top pick for the best green bamboo sheets on the market. We’ll also provide some tips on what to look for when shopping for bamboo sheets so you can find the perfect set for your own bedroom sanctuary.
What to Look for When Shopping for the Best Green Bamboo Sheets
The best green bamboo sheets you can buy are those with optimal comfort, safety, and durability properties. When shopping for a green bamboo bedding set, you should consider the thread count, pocket depth, weave, and any certifications the bamboo bedding has received from environmental organizations.
Material
Starting with the material, what’s the difference between 100 percent bamboo, viscose, and a blend?
- 100% Bamboo Sheets: The standard, if you buy something that isn’t 100% bamboo rayon or 100% bamboo viscose, you’re really setting yourself up for a bad pair of sheets.
Rayon is a classification of semi-synthetic textiles, while viscose is regenerated cellulose that can be obtained from bamboo and other sources. Bamboo stalk is chopped and mashed, broken down, and then milled into a fluffy and soft material that is then spun into bamboo fabric.
It is important that your sheets are 100% bamboo because you will only get the benefits of incredible softness when using them.
- Bamboo cotton blend, bamboo microfiber, bamboo polyester: You get a stronger, cheaper fabric at the expense of comfort and softness.
If you want sheets that will last you a lifetime, you should go for bamboo blends. However, they just don’t feel like 100% bamboo. Like a blazing star, 100% bamboo sheets are out of this world in terms of silky smoothness. And like this star, they eventually burn out. But not without years of unrivaled comfort.
- Bamboo Linen: Also called natural bamboo, bamboo linen is made by a mechanical process. Bamboo stems are broken down by natural enzymes. The bamboo fibers are subsequently hand-combed and spun into yarn. This fabric is not common because it is more painstaking and results in a fabric that is not as soft as viscose and rayon fabrics.
- 100 percent Bamboo Lyocell: It employs a similar process to 100 percent bamboo but is a bit more environmentally friendly. It was made at a time (rayon was invented in 1924) when the manufacture of rayon was quite dangerous for the environment. Today, the process has been dramatically cleaned up. In most cases, it is very similar to 100 percent bamboo, so buying this material will give you the same results.
Weave
Twill or sateen are two of the most common weaves for green bamboo sheets.
Sateen is a three-threads over, and one-thread under weave pattern and is of excellent quality. Sateen weave is a type of fabric that provides a soft, smooth, silky finish with a slight sheen. Sateen weave is created by weaving floating threads over warp threads, creating a fabric that is smooth, silky to the touch, and lustrous. It is widely used for bed sheets and other bedding due to its elegant appearance and comfortable feel.
Get a sateen weave if you want something like silk but without such a slippery, smothering feel. You just have to be sure you are very careful with the sheets.
Twill is a super soft, luxurious fabric made from bamboo fibers. Due to its unique properties, it is often used in high-quality clothing and bedding. Twill fabric is extremely strong and durable, yet incredibly soft and comfortable against the skin. Twill weave is also environmentally friendly due to its durability and is becoming more and more popular in the fashion industry.
If you are looking for luxurious and unique fabric, twill is a great option. It is durable and strong, yet comfortable and silky soft. It’s eco-friendly as well, making it an amazing choice for the environment.
Thread Count
Using a listed thread count is a great way to get great-looking green bamboo sheets. But not in the way you think. Thread count is only important when you want to fish out poorly made sheets. You can easily disqualify sheets for an obscenely high thread count, but you cannot use thread count to choose between appropriately numbered bamboo sheets. Actual fabric quality counts more than a fixed number.
Thread count is the number of threads in one square inch of fabric. It has ceased to be a relevant indicator of sheets' quality for years. With the introduction of dishonest manufacturers who double or triple count the individual layers that make up a yarn, it is no longer a good indicator.
Lucky for you, if you see a sheet above 800, you can basically consider it inferior. Amazon is full of 1,000 thread count as well as 1,800 thread count bamboo sheets and cotton sheets. Even if it were possible to have 1,800 thread count bamboo sheets, they would not feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud.
If you can get good quality 300 thread count sheets. Does it make sense to think that stuffing six times the amount will soften the fabric?
A high thread count (if genuine) runs a higher risk of pilling. Bed Bath and Beyond were sued, and they were forced to settle over the use of artificial thread counts. It’s not a conspiracy. A woman sued the company after buying 800 thread count sheets but she felt irritated so she had them tested and they only had a 408-thread count.
Bed Bath and Beyond, can’t get away with this, but the little fish can and do. Amazon’s choice for bamboo sheets is an 1800-thread count product. We won’t say if that’s true or not, but we would say use your best judgment.
Buy 100% bamboo rayon or viscose. It’s incredibly comfortable and quite frankly the softest bedding on the market. If you love to sleep and want to feel unreasonably soft every time you go to bed, 100% bamboo sheets are your best choice.
What are the Best Green Bamboo Sheets?
When it comes to soft and comfortable green bamboo sheets, our favorite is the Bamboo Bed Green Bamboo Sheets Set. Buyers can give their mattress a more luxurious feel with a sateen finish. Bamboo Bed’s 100% organic bamboo sheets offer luxury quality at a very affordable price. The thick yet lightweight fabric is made from 100% organic bamboo viscose that’s silky smooth and naturally cooling.
As well as being silky to the touch, the sheets also promote healthy sleep by being naturally antimicrobial. In other words, potentially harmful or even smelly microbes are unlikely to colonize these sheets. Bamboo is also largely free of irritants, so sleepers with sensitive skin or allergies can wake up refreshed after a good night’s sleep.

Bamboo Bed Bamboo Sheets are also Oeko-Tex 100 certified, which means they are even suitable for babies. Its incredible breathability means sweat quickly evaporates into the air and moisture is naturally wicked away to keep you dry all night.

Natural Dyes
Our green bamboo sheets are made from eco-friendly dyes that are non-toxic and free from harsh chemicals. Natural dyes made from natural products do not contain the same dangerous compounds as the toxic synthetic dyes used in other products. This means that they are less likely to cause serious health complications for workers. Also, they are less likely to cause allergies or skin conditions like dermatitis.
